Here we are, three years later...
...and in terms of another outcome of building for WasmEdge, we are actually on the verge of being able to have one %r3.wasm file that can run on Linux, Mac, and Windows...
Of course, you need a WASI runner. There are several emerging to choose from, prominently:
-
WasmTime https://wasmtime.dev/
-
Wasmer https://wasmer.io/
I gave it a shot, and the console actually starts in both. But it crashes when you try to scan a line.
I'll look into it. But these won't be too usable for anything right here today in on July 1st 2022, until files and networking are sorted out.
However in light of my remarks on having a Wasm focus and not getting into the mire of trying to distribute native executables, I will say this looks like the way forward
One %r3.wasm file to rule them all.
